what I don't understand is why someone is saying they can't watch wimbledon on the BBC since I could watch it both on TV and live streamed on the bbc website yesterday

The BBC is legal, Zattoo isn't?
Of course, this debate depends on how you interpret your definition of illegal
broadcast! Zattoo is, they argue, merely rebroadcasting the channels in
territories that can already receive them via other platforms (cable, DTV etc).
This they argue is entirely legal.
If people are up in arms about it, I find it puzzling that (unless I'm mistaken
or I missed something) no broadcaster has come forward as of yet, to declare
that they do not wish for their channels to be rebroadcast on the Zattoo
platform. I'm personally in favour of Zattoo continuing, it's very handy as a
fallback if the atmospherics aren't in my favour so my DTV signal breaks up
(yeah, it's THAT bad sometimes!)
